Anatomy Of Flowering Plants

Question
CBSEENBI11026060
Wired Faculty App

Quiescent centre is found in root apex and acts as

  • permanent source of active initiates

  • reservoir of resistant cells

  • reservoir of passive cells to form new root apex if root apex is damaged/ killed

  • all of the above

Solution

D.

all of the above

In the root apex of angiosperm, cup shaped zone of inactive cells is known as quiescent centre. These cells do not divide. Instead, they become active, whenever the active initials are damaged. It also acts as a reservoir of cells relatively resistant to change.
